Installing the Projector

The projector can be installed for three different viewing setups: front projection, ceiling mounting, or rear projection onto a semi-transparent screen.

To project from overhead, you’ll need to select Ceiling in the projector’s Advanced menu. To project from the rear, select Rear Proj. See page 38 for more information.

If you’re ceiling-mounting the projector and you place it above screen level, you’ll have to tilt it down to position the image on-screen. This causes the image to lose its rectangular shape. You can then correct the distortion by using the Keystone function in the projector’s menu system (see page 36).

If you place the projector’s lens so it’s level with the top of the screen, the image will be rectangular and you won’t have to adjust it. If you place the lens lower than the top of the screen, you’ll have to tilt the projector upward if you want to fill the whole screen with the image.

Connecting to a PC Desktop Computer

You can connect the projector to any IBM®-compatible PC. This section includes instructions for the following:

■Connecting the computer cable

■Connecting the monitor cable

■Connecting an optional audio cable (if you’ll be projecting with audio)

Follow the steps in each section for the cables you need to connect. Before you start, make sure the projector and computer are turned off.
